Safety Concept

Introduction

This chapter describes the safety performance level concept and how the

Kinetix 6200 and Kinetix 6500 drives can meet the requirements for SIL CL3,

CAT 4, or PLe applications.

Safety Certification

The Kinetix 6200 and Kinetix 6500 drives are certified for use in safety

applications up to and including SIL CL3 according to EN 61800-5-2,

EN 61508, and EN 62061, Performance Level PLe and CAT 4 according to

ISO 13849-1. Safety requirements are based on the standards current at the time

of certification.

The TÜV Rheinland group has approved the Kinetix 6200 and Kinetix 6500

drives for use in safety-related applications where the de-energized state is

considered to be the safe state. All of the examples related to I/O included in this

manual are based on achieving de-energization as the safe state for typical

Machine Safety and Emergency Shutdown (ESD) systems.
